Since the start of 2025, Ousmane Dembélé has been unstoppable, continuing to rack up goals at an astonishing rate.
On Tuesday night, the Paris Saint-Germain forward delivered yet another brilliant performance, scoring a brace in PSG’s 3-0 win over Brest in the Champions League playoff first leg. With 23 goals in 28 matches across all competitions, the 27-year-old has now scored in eight consecutive games—putting him on the verge of breaking a prestigious record.
